| Description | In a legislative district suddenly seen as less conservative than it once was, where multimillion-dollar Mercer Island homes give way to modest May Valley ramblers, things are not clear-cut this November for either political party.
Powerful Republican Sen. Jim Horn, chair of the Highways and Transportation Committee who has spent 16 years in Olympia, could be vulnerable to what many are calling a strong Democratic opponent in the 41st Legislative District: Brian Weinstein, a lawyer who's raised $216,000 in cash and other campaign contributions to Horn's $165,000.
Moderate Republican Rep. Fred Jarrett is facing his first competition, from Democrat and businessman Lance Ramsay, after two terms without a November challenge.
And Rep. Judy Clibborn, who slipped into office two years ago as the first Democrat elected in the 41st District in almost half a century, will try to hold her seat against GOP challenger Fawn Spady, a charter-school champion.
These six candidates, plus three longshot Libertarians, are fighting over a piece of the Puget Sound region once solidly conservative but where 58 percent of voters who took part in the recent primary opted for a Democratic ballot. |
